The History of Ridgmont
This is a nice quaint church on the edge of a field near Ridgmont, about half a mile from the village, there is parking on the lane but not for many cars, just be weary of the field entrances when parking. Speaking with a couple of the locals, the church is now owned by the locals to stop the council from tearing it down, it was build in the 1800's so not as old as many, designed by George Gilbert Scott, layout consists of a nave, north aisle, west tower, north porch and chancel, the new church in Ridgmont does not have a graveyard so this church has been retained for this purpose, please be respectful when walking across the grounds
Exploring Ridgmont
I have been a couple of times, the walk around it is very good too, the attached photos were taken in the late afternoon, surprising how quick a place falls into disrepair, would be good one night to pop down and take some pictures as the moon is tracking the horizon, hopefully try and get a shot of it coming through the window
